Definitely one way to boost sales, don’t you think?

Jennifer is definitely an overachiever. In addition to her acting and singing career, her judging gig on “American Idol,” and her new reality talent show, J.Lo is also coming out with another perfume… and she’s promoting it with her gloriously naked body.

Lopez tells Women’s Wear Daily:

“[Glowing is] a step beyond Glow.”

She continues:

“Glowing is such a clean fragrance… That’s what I’ve always been about. I like soapy, clean smells. This is a very woodsy scent. So it’s not exactly what I created 10 years ago — it’s the evolution of that.”

J.Lo’s latest fragrance is a floral woody amber with top notes of bergamot, mandarin and cypress, a heart of orange flower, muguet de bois and cassia flower, and a drydown of sandalwood, amber sultan, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli and cashmere musk.

Lopez adds:

“At the essence, it’s still natural, earthy, clean and real, but a little different side of that. It’s the woodsy side of it, which I think is kind of New York-y, darker and sexier.”

Would you buy Jennifer’s new fragrance?

While all Jenny from the block wanted to talk about was her role as a beauty icon, mom and “American Idol” judge, she did touch on some issues about her divorce from Marc Anthony, which is really saying something because it looks like she’s moved on well along the road with backup dancer, Casper Smart…

“Marc and I were friends before we got married. We were friends for years. And we always loved each other, and we always worked together,”

J. Lo said, referring to her and her ex’s collaboration on their Hispanic reality talent show, “Q’Viva! The Chosen.”

“So it wasn’t like an unnatural thing to keep working together.”

But is that all there is to them these days? Work?

“Obviously, we have children together so it’s not like he’s not going to be in my life,”

Lopez added. She also admitted she’s still a hopeless romantic who believes in happy endings.

“I’m not going to sit here and lie to you about it,”

she continued.

“But at the end of the day there is real love there, and there is a family there.”

When Lauer reminded her of her “Vanity Fair” interview where she said she loves herself enough to walk away from the marriage, J. Lo quipped:

“Matt, I’m going to kill you right now. Everything I wanted to say about the divorce I said in that article, and Marc and I agreed we weren’t going to talk about it publicly again because it really is our personal life.”

And that, apparently, was that.

So that means there isn’t going to be any backstage histrionics, tear-stained back stories, or judges acting catty towards one another and the contestants. J. Lo and Marc Anthony wanted their format to be totally different from “The X Factor,” “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol” where the behind-the-scenes drama takes center stage over actual talent…

Well, that’s one way to stand apart from the rest, eh? The question is…can they overthrow the competition?

Instead of judging contestants from behind a panel, and spinning around in oversized chairs or rejecting hopefuls with a buzzer, Lopez and Marc Anthony, along with choreographer and creative director Jamie King, traveled Latin America to handpick the talent for “Q’Viva.”

“We’re not judges, we’re show producers and we’re putting together a live show,”

Marc Anthony revealed during a recent Television Critics Association press tour.

“What makes it interesting is we’re documenting the process. You don’t win anything. You either get cast in the final show, or not.”

Even when he had to turn down a young singer in Nicaragua, Marc Anthony did it ever so gently, telling her he couldn’t envision her fitting into the show. So if you get your kicks from snarky put-downs or dramatic contestants, you might find yourself disappointed.

“It’s going to be a great crossover. We’ve had Spanish people watch it, we’ve had English people watch … and it translates. We’re speaking in English, we’re speaking in Spanish, we’re speaking in Portuguese,”

a bi-lingual J. Lo said.

“I think because of all the reality-type shows that are out there right now, like “Amazing Race” that go to different countries, [having subtitles is] not a big leap for anybody. Plus the music and the dancers are really the star of the show.”

But most importantly…

“It was our dream to come together and show the world what Latin American talent really is. As much as we knew about it, going on this journey we learned so much more about it,”

Lopez continued.

“The world and everybody who takes this journey with us is going to be so pleasantly surprised, so elated, so lifted, so enriched by the experience.”

So that hopefully, we’ll have a kinder, gentler world, right? Lofty ideals for a show, yes. Let’s hope it sells…

Is it because these two are hardened seasoned performers believe that the show must go on at all costs…or is it because they just work really well together, regardless of what goes on in their personal lives? After all, haven’t they collaborated together for so many years, while Marc Anthony was allegedly cheating on his then-wife, former Miss Universe, Dayanara Torres with J.Lo? even before they were married?

The divorcing couple seemed all business as usual as they promoted their reality competition show, “Q’Viva!”…and at one point, Marc Anthony even held J.Lo‘s hand up sweetly to check the number of rings on her fingers. Was he looking for their wedding ring, perhaps?

On the other hand, neither of them talked about their personal lives, and the TCA panel was likely briefed beforehand not to ask any sensitive questions, either, they stayed clear of personal matters, entirely.

So how did it feel having to be in the same room together, within touching distance from each other?

“Same as it was any other time we worked together.”

Jenny from the block told E! Online.

“We have a great time working together.”

Too bad they’ve gone kaput…

According to Star Magazine, Jenny from the block has put her young plaything on a weekly allowance because she’s gotten tired of whipping out her credit card or checkbook each time they go out on a dinner date or a shopping trip. So she’s started giving him ten grand a week so he could treat her out, too…using her money…

Nice illusion, that. Maybe Marc Anthony was right about J.Lo needing psychiatric help?

“Jen doesn’t want to go over the top, showering Casper with too much, but she also wants him to up his game,”

the source tells the tabloid.

“Jen is hoping Casper won’t think twice about buying presents for her kids or whisking her off for a surprise weekend getaway.”

Or buying his own Bentley so he wouldn’t have to use hers.

Point of the matter is, J.Lo is secretly rubbing her hands in glee at how much she’s irritating Marc Anthony by being the ultimate sugar mommy.

“She loves that he’s freaking out about her showering Casper with money,”

the source continues.

That would mean less moolah to fight over during the divorce settlement, then…good. Good.

We’re sure everyone’s noticed that Jennifer tends to go from one relationship to the next—she never gives herself time off to be single. She was once famously engaged to A-list actor Ben Affleck, and when that went bust she immediately jumped into a romance (her longest yet) with singer Marc Anthony… and after that ended, she started going out with backup dancer Casper Smart—within months after announcing her separation from Marc.

It’s safe to say that J.Lo has a bit of trouble being alone… and Marc himself brought it up during a heated argument with Jen, which started with his request to see their children more often. A source tells RadarOnline.com:

“As always with things between Jen and Marc recently, the conversation quickly turned heated… Jen said Marc wasn’t being attentive enough as their father, and Marc scoffed at that remark and said she was always changing her travel plans with the children at the last minute.”

The source adds:

“The real source of Marc‘s anger is Jen‘s relationship with back-up dancer, Casper Smart. Jen is VERY serious about him, and it makes Marc extremely jealous. Marc told Jen that she [should] see a psychiatrist to deal with her issues to figure out why she always needs a man in her life.”

Whoa. We think Marc is right, but we do find it hard to believe that he’s “extremely jealous” about J.Lo’s new relationship. After all, he’s dating a gorgeous Venezuelan model now!

J.Lo must be so enthralled with her new boy toy, backup dancer Casper Smart that she doesn’t really mind her ex Marc Anthony finding someone else to enliven up his life with. Just as Anthony flaunted himself in full-on PDA with de Lima on social media, 42-year-old Jenny from the block took to her Twitter and sent a cryptic message:

“You know quite well,deep within u,that there is only a single magic,a single power, a single salvation&that is called loving.”

J.Lo tweeted, seemingly waving away any ill feelings towards her ex-husband for showing the world he had gotten some ass of his own.

Is this the passionate Latina’s way of telling Marc Anthony she harbors no resentment towards him and is pleased he found someone of his own to love, just like she did?

What do you think?

After J.Lo went and paraded her new boy toy backup dancer Casper Smart around town, and even allowed him to chauffeur her and Marc Anthony‘s twins around in her Bentley (much to her estranged husband’s ire), Marc Anthony decided to get some ass of his own… in the person of 24-year-old Venezuelan model, Shannon de Lima…

The 43-year-old Puerto Rican singer let the whole world know he’d moved on and posted this photo on his Facebook wall giving his new squeeze, a runner up for Miss Earth Venezuela 2005, an airtight hug and kiss, with the caption…

“gracias”

In fact, as a testament to how serious his relationship with de Lima has become, friends and family have posted a number of congratulatory messages to the new couple.

Even his adopted son, Chase Muniz, who’d been “unfollowed” by soon-to-be-former-stepmom J.Lo, expressed his joy for his dad on Twitter:

“My dad is happy im happy. Love you dad!!!!!!”

Looks like dad is head over heels himself because…

“A mi @Shadelima mi estatua de libertad. Besos bebe.” (To Shannon, my status of liberty. Kisses baby!)

he sent de Lima on his Twitter account.

Just a few weeks after Jennifer debuted her new boy toy (and backup dancer) Casper Smart, Marc was spotted out with gorgeous blonde model Adriana Ontiveros.

According to celebrity news, the rumored new couple was seen at a Miami Dolphins football game two weeks before Christmas. An eyewitness tells Life & Style:

“They exited the stadium via a private entrance and stepped out of the elevator together… They were holding hands, and he seemed very comfortable with her. He wasn’t flaunting it.”

Marc and Adriana are said to have met through mutual friend Alejandro Fernandez, whom Marc has performed with in the past and whose music video, “Se Me Va la Voz” (I Lose My Voice), features the sexy Adriana.

An insider reveals:

“It’s new, but he is dating.”

What do you think of Marc’s new girlfriend?

Lucky guy.

Jennifer has been dating Casper for over a month now, and she’s reportedly given him the keys to her shiny white Bentley. And she doesn’t just lend it to him so he can pick her up and chauffeur her around… he gets to drive it around even when he’s not with J.Lo.

Ah, the perks of dating Jennifer Lopez!

It’s hard to believe that this guy isn’t just in it for the private jets and the lavish trips, but come on… he doesn’t even need that stuff, because being with J.Lo, we believe, is enough. It’s pretty much a dream come true for any straight male out there.

But, thankfully, he does seem really smitten with her…

What do you guys think? Is J.Lo spoiling her man too much?

During Jennifer and Casper’s Hawaiian Thanksgiving vacation, the 24-year-old backup dancer was photographed playing with J.Lo and Marc’s kids at the beach. Unfortunately, if he was planning on doing any other fatherly duties, such as, say, chauffeuring them around, he’s going to be sorely disappointed.

Why? Because Marc put his foot down once he found out that Casper had a criminal record… after getting arrested for drag racing.

A source tells RadarOnline.com:

“[Marc] went ballistic when he found out about Casper‘s criminal record. He explicitly told Jen that Casper wasn’t allowed to drive their children anywhere. Marc hates the fact that Casper is spending time with Max and Emme. Marc is extremely jealous, and doesn’t think Jen is using good judgement when it comes to Casper.”

The source adds:

“This wasn’t a threat that Marc gave Jen. He will go straight to family court if he needs to get a judge involved to make sure Casper doesn’t get behind the wheel with his kids in the car.”

Well, we don’t think that any parent would want their kids driven by someone who does drag racing.

What do you think? Is Marc overreacting, or is he totally justified?

Seriously, is Jennifer trying to sweep Casper off his feet or something?

After wrapping up their Thanksgiving vacation/lovefest in Hawaii, Jenny from the Block whisked her boy toy off to Morocco on a private jet.

But it’s not all pleasure… it’s business, too. J.Lo is reportedly going to perform for the Moroccan royal family at the opening of the “Morocco Mall.” Casper, who is also her backup dancer, will most probably be dancing by her side.

As for J.Lo’s twins, Max and Emme, RadarOnline.com reports:

“…they didn’t travel to Morocco and instead will remain in Los Angeles with J.LO‘s mother Guadalupe.”

What do you think, guys? Is J.Lo spending too much time with Casper?

Hunky Bradley, who happens to be deliciously fluent in French, is either meeting Laurent to discuss a possible collaborative movie project, or else practice his honeyed tongue on her to ease the heartbreak a certain bootylicious J.Lo left him with.

Which do you think it is?

And if you don’t remember Melanie Laurent, she starred with Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino‘s brutally bloody 2009 war film, “Inglorious Basterds.” Remember the wispy blonde who got away after her Jewish family was massacred by the Gestapo while hiding under the floorboards? Yes, that’s her – Shosanna Dreyfus.

And now Bradley Cooper may…or may not…have set sights on her. They two were spotted on the Parisian streets after attending a play together, which leads us to believe that they are now dating.

Will Melanie Laurent be able to handle the  “Sexiest Man Alive”?

So what did he say?

Danny posted a photo of J.Lo’s new boyfriend, backup dancer Casper Smart, on vacation in Hawaii on his Twitter account with the caption:

“Whoa! When did JLO start dating vanilla ice?”

Somehow, the tone of his tweet makes us think that it wasn’t really meant to be a compliment.

So is this the start of another Hollywood feud?

Well, no. At least, according to Danny, it isn’t. The actor tweeted:

“No feud,jus sayin the dude looks like van winkle no?”

Fortunately, J.Lo’s new man has a sense of humor. When asked by one of his followers if he saw Masterson’s tweet, Casper simply responded:

“yeah I saw it.. In the sun but still pale.. LOL”

So what do you guys think? Does Jennifer’s boy toy look like Vanilla Ice, aka Robert Matthew Van Winkle?

As previously reported by celebrity gossip websites, J.Lo spent Thanksgiving in Hawaii, and it was widely believed that Casper, her new boy toy, was with her—along with her children and some other family members.

This morning, the hot twosome was photographed canoodling half-naked—Jennifer in a skimpy bikini and Casper in board shorts—on a plush sofa while sipping colorful drinks.

Casper was actually quite the gentleman, as he immediately tried to cover Jennifer’s face once he saw the paparazzi.

So… the cat’s out of the bag, Jennifer.

After her somewhat controversial performance at the 2011 American Music Awards and after setting tongues wagging by dragging along 24-year-old boy toy (who is also her backup dancer) Casper Smart to a star-studded AMA after party, J.Lo reportedly jetted off to Kauai, Hawaii with her adorable twins.

But did she really go to such a romantic vacay spot without bringing a man? If we know J.Lo, she’s not one to go anywhere without suitable man candy. Hence, celebrity news believes that she went there with Casper, whom she seems to bring along wherever she goes.

RadarOnline.com reports:

“[Jennifer] is celebrating Thanksgiving on the island of Kauai… boy toy boyfriend Casper Smart — her 24-year-old backup dancer — is rumored to be there with her.”

We wonder how J.Lo and Casper spent their Hawaii Thanksgiving?

…if speeding and failing to show up in court were considered dangerous, that is.

Still, it’s come as a shock to many that her backup dancer lover has three outstanding arrest warrants to his name. Count them, three! Does that put him in the same league as Lindsay Lohan?

Smart was arrested way back in March 2006 for driving on a suspended license, not having insurance, and speeding. A warrant with a $5K bail was issued a couple of days later for his failure to appear in court. But Smart eventually appeared and pleaded no contest, and the charges were dismissed.

But he failed to provide proof of having completed 86 hours of community service in October 2007. Another warrant was issued and his probation revoked.

Then Smart got his third strike in April 2010 when he was stopped for speeding again, and an arrest warrant was issued by the judge when he failed to appear for his hearing. Bail was set at $26K, but his lawyer pleaded “not guilty,” and Smart‘s warrant was recalled after it expired in February of this year.

And then he met J. Lo.  Is Jenny from the block going to bail him out the next time around or is she going to drop him completely?

Anthony was spotted picking up J.Lo from the airport before the shooting, but that wasn’t what got gossip mongers’ alarm bells ringing…it was the fact that Marc Anthony never slept in his hotel room, but stayed in J. Lo‘s suite instead.

Well, they still are married. For now…

So how is this working out with J.Lo‘s backup dancer boy toy, Casper Smart, with whom she was seen shamelessly making out at the AMA afterparty? Was he merely a tool (pun intended) she used to make Marc Anthony realize what he’s been missing?

On the other hand, maybe Marc Anthony isn’t someone you can forget easily.

“It’s inevitable,”

a friend remarked.

“Marc has this hold over her.”

Add this to the fact that he’s still the father of her children. And besides, maybe he wields a more impressive tool than Casper Smart ever can…

In a strange twist of fate (or maybe thanks to someone’s weird sense of humor), recent exes Jennifer and Marc both performed at the American Music Awards last weekend. But despite the fact that Marc is a multi-Grammy award-winning singer, his performance was still thoroughly outshined by his estranged wife’s number, which was greatly helped by her skintight nude bodysuit and—though the reaction was more negative than positive—an unexpected Fiat endorsement.

And that’s exactly how J.Lo wanted it. A source told the New York Post:

“J.Lo also would only allow Marc to perform at the AMAs if she performed on the show first and had a much bigger number than him… which is what happened. She had two stages and he had half a stage for his later performance. The only thing they shared that night was Pitbull.”

Is Jennifer really that petty? Or is she just too much of a diva to come second to a man whom she’s already dumped?
